Can anyone provide a source for Tony Benn's typology of politicians as 'maddies', 'straight men" and 'fixers'?

13 December 2015 1 8K Report

It is often attributed to Benn but I've not been able to find anywhere where Benn said it. (Tony Benn was a British minister in the Wilson Government.)

Andras Becker

Is there anything in the Benn Diaries? Or perhaps you might find it in the searchable HANSARD (http://hansard.millbanksystems.com/) if he said in in the Parliament. Hope this helps! Andras
